Nursery World - On the fast track to frustration

There have been many letters regarding status, pay and qualifications between nursery nurses and teachers. I would like to address another side to this issue.

My management experience includes a working knowledge of employment law, finance, health and safety regulations, staffing and child protection issues. I understand the theories of child development from a multidisciplinary perspective. I have completed paperwork to comply with Ofsted regulations and the Children's Act.
